In the Forsyth area you may see clay-rich soils and occasional shale depending on the borrow site; shale-heavy material is usually cheaper but less desirable for planting or final grading.

The most cost-effective options are ordering unscreened local fill from nearby suppliers, arranging a pickup if you have a truck, or using excavated on-site soil when appropriate. Check Hello Gravel for local supplier rates, compare delivered prices, and order the minimum required only after calculating need—remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Convert to tons using about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for Forsyth soils and add 10% to 15% for settlement and compaction before ordering.
